The taxonomy section places the plant within genus Cabomba, family Cabombaceae, order Nymphaeales, and major group Angiosperms.
For broader context and filtering, open the Aquarium Plant Library.
Growth and use data
For plant planning, growth data provides height up to 50 cm.
Propagation context is limited to cutting off daughter plants.
Care data interpretation
The care profile is centered on medium difficulty, low light demand, and recommended CO2.
Emersed growth is included as a possible growth mode.
Aquarium tool: Calculate suitable lighting.
Water parameter context
Structured water data includes temperature 20–25 °C, pH 5–7, KH 0–14 °dKH, and CO2 10–40 mg/L.
Use with this data: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
The nutrient fields provide nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.1–3 mg/L, potassium 5–30 mg/L, and iron 0.01–0.5 mg/L.
Useful next step: Calculate nutrient dosing.
